About Cut Copy

What started as a home recording project by DJ Dan Whitford back in 2001 has become so much more. In fact, the band now known as Cut Copy has four studio albums to their name, achieving breakthrough success with sophomore effort, "In Ghost Colours."

Whitford (a Mr. Do-It-All on vocals, keyboards and guitar), has been joined by Tim Hoey (guitar), Ben Browning (bass guitar) and Mitchell Scott (drums). Together they've blended vintage disco and synth pop in a way that has appealed to a broad spectrum of fans. And sure, it appears the band may draw some of its inspiration from the likes of Daft Punk and LCD Soundsystem, but rest assured the sound is all their own (and has been since their full-length album debut "Bright Like Neon Love" in 2004).

Early success came from their freshman project spun off three successful singles in "Saturdays," "Future" and "Going Nowhere." The band was going somewhere when it was inked to Universal's Island Records imprint for international distribution in 2006. That was followed by the release of the single "Hearts on Fire" in 2007, and a year later "In Ghost Colours" debuted at the top of Australia's ARIA charts.

The group released its third album, "Zonoscope," in 2011, and after a brief hiatus they rolled out "Free Your Mind" in late 2013. In a unique marketing ploy, the project debuted at just six specific locations worldwide. Fans were informed they could visit selected billboards in Mexico, Chile, Australia, two US locations and one in the UK to open an app that would allow them to stream the title track through their smartphones.
